Maxie Home is named for Cole’s beloved grandmother (Nana). The store's logo is her signature, captured via cards and letters. A portrait of the shop's namesake, painted by Laura Mitchell Core, a longtime family friend and local artist, is the centerpiece of Maxie Home. After spending a dozen years in Baton Rouge, Cole is happy to be back home in Shreveport and to offer the area an opportunity to visit his new store and learn more about his design services and eye for the aesthetic.

CNN News Network Time Warner Company - One Time Warner Center, New York City, New York, 10019

The Time Warner Center is a mixed use (office/commercial and residential) twin-tower building in New York City. Developed by The Related Companies and AREA Property Partners (formerly known as Apollo Real Estate Advisors), its design by David Childs and Mustafa Kemal Abadan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, consists of two 750 feet (230 m) twin towers bridged by a multi-story atrium containing upscale retail shops. Construction began in November 2000, following the demolition of the New York Coliseum, and a topping-out ceremony was held on February 27, 2003. The property had the highest-listed market value in New York City, $1.1 billion, in 2006.

Originally constructed as the AOL Time Warner Center, the building encircles the western side of Columbus Circle and straddles the border between Midtown and the Upper West Side. The total floor area of 2.8 million square feet (260,000 m2) is occupied by office space, including the offices of WarnerMedia (formerly Time Warner) and an R&D center for VMware; residential condominiums; and the Mandarin Oriental, New York hotel. The Shops at Columbus Circle is an upscale shopping mall located in a curving arcade at the base of the building, with a large Whole Foods Market grocery store on the lower level.

CNN Design - 1 CNN Center, 12th floor, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303

The CNN Center is the world headquarters of CNN. The main newsrooms and studios for several of CNN's news channels are located in the building. The facility's commercial office space is occupied entirely by CNN and its sister company, Turner Broadcasting System. The CNN Center is located in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park.

The CNN Center opened in 1976 as the Omni Complex, which was a development by Cousins Properties. The Omni Coliseum, an NBA and NHL arena directly connected to the Omni Complex, opened 3 years earlier, on October 14, 1972. The Omni Complex largely sat vacant until CNN moved its headquarters there in 1987 from its Midtown Atlanta site (old home of the Progressive Club on 1050 Techwood Drive and home to Turner Broadcasting System). The facility originally offered office space to various business tenants, as well as consulates over the years. The main floor featured an indoor ice skating rink, as well as a small number of restaurants and a Gold Mine video arcade. More famously, Sid and Marty Krofft built an indoor amusement park called The World of Sid and Marty Krofft, inspired by the creations of the popular children's television producers. The park was the first indoor theme park and opened in 1976, but closed within six months. The complex also featured a multi-screen movie theater. For years, the theater offered showings of Gone with the Wind, which Ted Turner called "The greatest movie ever made". The theater was replaced during renovations to put in a new newsroom for CNN's website operations. The ice skating rink was filled in and a mosaic map of the world replaced it (featuring brass markers indicating the locations of CNN bureaux around the world). Prior to moving, CNN and Headline News were based in a former country club on Techwood Drive in Midtown Atlanta, sharing the facility with WTBS, which currently serves as the campus for nearly all other Turner networks and Turner Studios; the mansion facade also served as the logo for Turner's theatrical and home video arms during the 1990s. When CNN networks moved to the CNN Center on July 13, 1987, CNN Headline News (now known as HLN) was the first network to broadcast a show from it at 3.00 ET with its program # 96,915. Their sister channel started live programming at 6.00 p.m. ET of that day.

The foundation will be laid for well-rounded character formation by enkindling spiritual, moral, intellectual, communal, emotional, and physical development.

St. Thomas Catholic School will build on the inheritance of our Mother Church, a leader in education.

Background and History

St. Thomas Catholic School is named after St. Thomas the Apostle, the Apostle of India. The church that St. Thomas established in India in the first century A.D. is the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. The church adjacent to the school, that owns and manages the school, is a parish of the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, a Diocese established to serve the community of Catholics from India who belong to this church established by St. Thomas.

The St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is an Oriental Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite that is in full communion with the Church of Rome, thus having allegiance to the Pope. The church’s firm loyalty, unconquerable faith, innate spirituality, and rich traditions make it extremely alive, having survived continuously for two millennia, the only church in the Communion of Catholic Churches still named after the apostle who established it.

This coming year as we begin to partner with you, the Staff and Leadership of St Thomas Catholic School are committed to uphold the highest standard of education and to do our best to ensure that the experience of your children in our school will be positive and in a loving environment. We hope that their experience will challenge and encourage their growth at a deeper level.

Special order placed by a customer, owner of a Beach House, located in El Salvador for CL-920A Dual Custom Curved Curtain Track System

Production Images:

Original request from Matthew Burdeen: "We need a quotation for a curved automatic track holding a velvet 10â€™ long curtain referenced on the plans as seating area plan 6."

For this particular project, PowerCurtain CL-920A Custom Curved Motorized Curtain Track Systems were chosen by the customer, Burdeen's Jewelry, for their newly renovated facility, located in the heart of Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

The Complete Story of Burdeen's Jewelry

Back in 1980, Dennis and Sandy Burdeen broke ground in the Jewelry industry with meager resources, but held fast to a rich dream. They appreciated all of the finer things life had to offer and foresaw grand visions of success in jewelry design and sales. To begin, they created ornate pins and necklaces, operating from their suburban home while their two sons played in the next room. Dennis worked at night to refine his skills, apprenticing under the finest European artisans in Chicago. By day, he and Sandy hit the art show circuit where in 1982 their designs and custom pieces were picked up by Nieman Marcus.

“There is nothing more rewarding than watching our clients’ joyful response when picking up a piece we hand-created for them, or hearing romantic tales of their heirloom pieces we’ve restored or recreated.” Dennis Burdeen immediately realized working directly with his clients truly rewarded him more than the uncongenial wholesale side of the industry and 1983, Burdeen’s Jewelry opened their humble 600 sq. ft. flagship store in Buffalo Grove, IL.

A second generation of Burdeens begin their journey

Thirty years later, Matthew Burdeen shares similar auspicious goals that only further validate the transformation path he began charting nearly two decades ago while earning his Graduate Gemologist degree and working under his father. It was a path that had little to do with inheritance and everything to do with innovation, talent and hard work. In 1994, Matthew joined the family business and began work on his Graduate Gemologist Degree. Two years later, his brother Jason also joined the family business after receiving his Graduate Jewelers Degree from the prestigious Gemological Institute of America. Jason brought with him knowledge of manufacturing and design that catapulted Burdeen's Jewelry into the world of haute custom jewelry - a world it hasn't left since. Since Dennis and Sandy’s retirement in 2009, the Burdeen’s elegant concepts and family-jeweler legacy has been the way into the future.

As a partner in life and also in business, Rada Burdeen, Matt’s wife, soon confidently left behind her career in human resources and business administration within corporate America to support and foster the growth of the new Burdeen’s Jewelry by managing the operational and financial aspects of the family’s venture.

“Since my advent, I have made it my priority to refine and build upon the elements my parents set forth for our success. Customer service is and always will be paramount, and with that first all other things follow. We take immense pride in our selection and service; there is not a single piece in our collection that we don’t love! These concepts make for an honest and uncomplicated exchange. Our goal is to build long-lasting relationships. We accomplish this by providing the best experience, offering the most remarkable jewelry and timepieces imaginable, and all at the most reasonable prices,” states Matthew.
Looking forward, Matthew felt that in order to provide a level of quality that would meet or exceed international designers, Burdeen’s first expansion back in 2003 would include the acquisition of their own custom design and manufacturing facility. Now in its tenth year of operation, the Burdeen’s studio employs designers and craftsmen with graduate jeweler, gem and diamond degrees. World renowned skill and expertise have set an unsurpassed standard of quality at Burdeen’s, at the international level they strive for, but at a much more reasonable price point for their clients.

In early 2008, the Buffalo Grove, IL company, then known as “The Local Family Jeweler”, entered the national arena and grew both their clientele and product offering through exclusive collaboration with prominent luxury timepiece manufacturers such as Ulysse Nardin, Breitling, Chopard, Omega and A. Lange & Söhne. In addition, Burdeen’s now boasts the largest pre-owned fine timepiece collection in Chicago, with pieces ranging from $1,000-$100,000, answering the demand for purveyors by collectors and enthusiasts.

Combining decades of experience and true passion for design, Matthew and Rada travel the world to find the most sought-after, exquisite designs to proudly present one of the most enticing and memorable jewelry collections available. Our “Always Custom” mantra solidified the Burdeen’s mission; ‘to provide the most discriminating client the luxury of a high quality jewelry selection with fair pricing and unequivocal service’, and with such, has further established their foothold as a leader in the industry. Burdeen’s presents both the beautiful, timeless pieces filled with tradition and the modern, unique selections for the truly sophisticated.

New Addition, New Plans

Now established as a go-to source for cutting-edge fashions, impeccable service, and trusted family-jeweler warmth and familiarity, the Burdeen’s have laid out plans to expand even further than ever imagined. Their dream will permit clients the lavish shopping experience that they deserve. In 2013 we opened our luxurious, custom-built 6,000 square foot location 2013. In just four years, we have already outgrown its original floorplan. In 2017, we broke ground on a 3,000 square foot addition to make the store 15 times the size of the original store. With an exhilarating and dynamic gallery for clients to visit, Burdeen’s will emerge to a bright future as Chicagoland's exclusive jewelry destination.

Trump Palace, New York's well known skyscrapers, used PowerCurtain's CL-920C3 model of Motorized Curtain Track System to be installed on 36th Floor of the Building.

Trump Palace Condominiums is a 623 ft (190 m) tall skyscraper at 200 East 69th Street in New York City, New York. It was completed in 1991 and has 54 floors. Frank Williams and Associates, headed by architect Frank Williams designed the building, which is the 70th tallest in New York City, and the tallest in the Upper East Side.

The property had previously been occupied by the New York Foundling Hospital, which businessman and President of the United States, Donald Trump purchased in 1985. Prior to the sale, community groups had unsuccessfully lobbied city agencies to prevent a high-rise building from being constructed on the site. Construction of the 55-floor Trump Palace began in April 1989, with a planned completion date of 1991, at a cost of $185 million. Community groups had also made an unsuccessful attempt to have the building's 623-foot height decreased, although Trump had initially planned for a larger building to go on the site, and decided against including a five-screen movie theater on the property.

The tower, made of granite, was designed by architect Frank Williams to resemble Art Deco buildings of the 1920s and 1930s. The New York Times gave the building a mixed review: "On the positive side, Trump Palace's central tower, rising 54 stories from a base of low-rise shops and town houses, is a skillful composition of brick and glass. Shallow set-backs and the organization of windows and balconies into neat horizontal and vertical bands compress the tower's mass into crystalline contours. Corner windows, borrowed from the Century and the Majestic, adorn the edges of the tower like faceted gems . . .

Trump Palace makes little effort to fit into its surroundings. It wants to stick out on the skyline like a prima donna." The newspaper wrote that the high-rise, rather than a homage to the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, was more of a "hangover" from the 1980s: "That is its true period style. And the staggering views from the apartments bring that period deliriously back to life. Gazing out their windows, a visitor comes face to face with the soaring designer skyscrapers of those gilded years, each tower trying to upstage the others like sumptuously costumed guests at a charity ball." Low-rise townhouses are located at the tower's base along with a small plaza, both of which were part of a zoning requirement.

For this particular project, PowerCurtain CL-920C3 Motorized Curtain Track Systems were chosen by the customer and their general contractor, for their condominium, located on the 36th Floor of the Trump Place Skyscraper building.

Below is a video of the installed CL-920C Curtain Track System in a fully operational mode,

2nd Large order placed by Rubiola Construction Company by Ray Seta for Jack Guenther's residence construction project. This order consisted of multiple PowerCurtain CL-920C3 Motorized Curtain Track systems for multiple rooms as well as multiple PowerCurtain RL-400 Roller Shade systems including black-out fabric and instructions on how to install these units. 2nd order was placed based on satisfactory installation and feedback received from placing the original order from PowerCurtain on November 20th, 2015.

Auldbrass Plantation or Auldbrass is located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, near the town of Yemassee. The name is a variation of "Old Brass" which was the name given to the farmland and the local river landing. The earliest records from the farm are dated to 1736 when the farm was known as Mount Pleasant. An industrial engineer, C. Leigh Stevens, joined five parcels of land together along the Combahee River to form the plantation.

The main house, stable complex and kennels were designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright from 1940–1951. Wright is credited with changing the name to "Auldbrass". The plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It was purchased in 1986 by film producer Joel Silver after Donna Butler, a FLW real estate appraiser, convinced him to restore it. Auldbrass Plantation is an extraordinary example of historic preservation and is open to the public one weekend every two years, most recently November 7–8, 2015. Tours benefit the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.

First, test order for a single PowerCurtain CL-920C4 Curtain Track System was placed in October of 2016 by Scott McNair, plantation manager. Main criteria of the replacement tracks is that they had to work with original wiring as well as with original wall controls.

Not long after the 1st test order was received and installed by the customer, remainder of the five units of PowerCurtain CL-920C4 tracks were ordered for historical Silent Gliss replacement on December 13th, 2016. plantation manager, Scott McNair. CL-920C6 Curtain Track motors were eventually replaced with CL-920C4 model variations of the motor.

Two CL-920A 32ft Custom Curved Tracks were ordered by Vipul Shah and installed by team of professional PowerCurtain installers at customer's location in International Swaminarayan Satsang Organization, 4 Louisa Place, Weehawken, NJ 07087. Customer was very pleased with flawless ordering process, on-time delivery and expert installation of the two motorized tracks for their Temple project.

For this particular project, PowerCurtain CL-920A Motorized Curtain Track Systems were chosen by the customer and their general contractor, Gil's Design and Upholstery, for all 33 of their newly renovated hotel rooms and suites, located in the heart of Miami, Florida.

Developed in 1939 by L. Murray Dixon, a principal architect who defined Deco South Beach design. The Marlin Hotel remains a signature South Beach landmark in the heart of the city's celebrated Art Deco District.

MRK's modern restoration has revitalized the prominent property and added 33 state-of-the-art rooms and suites, while staying true to the iconic location's historic roots.

In the 1990’s, the hotel was transposed into a tropical retreat for some of the world's most renowned recording artists and performers.

Music Legends like Aerosmith, Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams and many more made their way to The Marlin to stay, play and produce their music at property's in-house recording studio.

Marlin Hotel sells for $9.5 million

APRIL 07, 2015 5:00 AM

Over the last couple decades, the Marlin Hotel has welcomed a revolving door of recording artists thanks to its in-house South Beach Studios.

For its next chapter, the hotel once owned by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell will continue to embrace those musical roots — but without the studio.

The 14-room boutique at 1200 Collins Ave. was sold this week to local group MRK Investments for $9.5 million. The new owners plan to renovate, add more rooms and open a restaurant with the team behind South Beach’s Macchialina. MRK is a silent partner in that restaurant.

EWM Realty International, the Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate that brokered the deal, announced the sale Tuesday morning. The transaction closed late Monday.

“They’re looking to really make it a true luxury product,” said Jason Zarco, an EWM associate who represented the buyer. Luxury associates Jeffrey Cohen and Luigi Mercurio represented the seller, Brazilian retail developer Mario Valadares da Costa. He bought the hotel in 2009 for $5.5 million and renovated the property in 2011.

The Marlin, designed by Raleigh architect L. Murray Dixon, was built in 1939. Blackwell bought it in the 1980s and opened the studio several years later. Over the years, artists including Bob Marley, Jay Z, U2, Aerosmith and Pharrell Williams recorded and spent time there. Blackwell, whose Island Outpost includes a collection of properties in Jamaica, sold the South Beach hotel in 2004.

Joe Galdo, a producer who opened South Beach Studios with Blackwell, said the music studio is now shut down in the Marlin space but stayed busy until it closed at the beginning of the month. He was packing up on Tuesday, but said he’s open to finding a new partnership to relocate.

Zarco said the new owners will convert the space that the studio occupied into rooms but will incorporate the hotel’s musical history in the new design. By the time renovations are done, plans call for the property to have 28 or 29 rooms.

“They need to go ahead and use that space in order to create the amount of luxury hotel rooms that they need to get the hotel up to the standard they want,” he said.

The renovation will take place in phases, Zarco said, and the hotel will not close. A timeline for the changes has not been confirmed.
